What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real?

Under the watchful gaze of everyone present, Ye Yu still held his hand in the position of delivering the slap.

As if to tell them—

That strike just now had not been an illusion.

First, he killed a Cui family disciple.

Then, he slapped the legitimate son of the Third Branch.

Mad!

This guy was absolutely insane!

The same thought rose uncontrollably in everyone’s mind.

Because no normal person would ever do something so utterly abnormal!

Cui Jingdong’s gaze shifted—from shock, to fury, to bloodthirst.

In contrast, Ye Yu remained completely calm.

"Next time you speak, don’t be so loud. You might scare me. Oh, right—and the way you’re staring at me? That might scare me too."

As he spoke, Ye Yu raised his hand again.

Seeing this, Cui Jingdong instinctively took a step back.

It was a reflexive dodge.

But Ye Yu let out a mocking chuckle, clearly ridiculing his fear.

Then, with a casual flick, he tossed the short blade he had just used to kill Cui Yang onto the ground in front of Cui Jingdong.

It was worth mentioning—

This divine weapon had been a gift from the Third Branch to Ye Yu.

Yet they could never have imagined that less than half an hour after giving it away, that very blade would already be turned against them.

This entire sequence of actions was nothing short of grinding Cui Jingdong’s face into the dirt.

He understood it very clearly—

If he did not respond now, the entire Third Branch would be utterly disgraced.

Even the subordinate branches that depended on them would begin to lose faith, believing the Third Branch incapable of protecting them.

And once that happened, their cohesion would collapse.

So—

Cui Jingdong had to do something.

Seeing Ye Yu turn as if to return to his seat, Cui Jingdong suddenly shouted at the surrounding crowd:

"What are you all waiting for? A member of our clan has been killed, and you stand there doing nothing? Move—take the murderer down!"

At these words, the Third Branch’s affiliated members suddenly came to their senses.

That’s right!

Ye Yu had killed a Cui family member in public.

No matter where this went, they held the moral high ground.

If they subdued him now, no one could say otherwise.

And if they managed to bring him back to the Third Branch—

That would be a tremendous achievement.

With that thought, the Third Branch members surged forward at once!

At the same time, Cui Yanshui slowly rose to her feet, preparing to step in.

She did not know why Ye Yu had done something so outrageous.

But no matter what—

He was, in name, her husband.

There was no way she could allow the Third Branch to take him away!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cui Rui, the legitimate daughter of the Second Branch, watched Ye Yu with a playful, thoughtful gaze.

Some situations only appear brilliant when they form a complete loop.

If one only knows how to kill but not how to resolve the aftermath—

That’s just a brainless brute.

In the God Realm, people like that die very quickly.

So, Ye Yu—

What will you do?

"Presumptuous!"

Ye Yu’s shout instantly halted all the Third Branch members in front of him.

Cui Jingdong stepped forward immediately and said coldly:

"What? You kill someone in my Cui family, and now you still dare resist? Do you really think my Cui family has no one?"

With a single sentence, he placed the weight of the entire clan onto Ye Yu’s shoulders.

In that moment, anyone who helped Ye Yu would be opposing the Cui family itself.

Cui Yanshui could not help but frown.

But Ye Yu showed no fear whatsoever.

He stepped forward directly, using his height advantage to look down at Cui Jingdong.

"The Cui family has people?"

He let out a faint scoff.

"From what I can see... there’s no one worth mentioning."

Those words instantly ignited the anger of all the Cui disciples.

Even the First Branch members’ expressions darkened.

But in Cui Jingdong’s eyes—

A trace of delight flashed.

Just as the rumors said.

A complete waste.

Walking straight into his own death.

Perfect.

Cui Jingdong raised his hand and pointed at Ye Yu, about to order his capture.

After that, he could simply call out to Cui Yanshui—

Take him away. I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens!

Just imagining it felt incredibly satisfying.

However—

Before he could complete that sequence—

Something unexpected happened.

Ye Yu slapped his hand aside.

Then, in a deep voice, he rebuked him:

"Do you understand hierarchy?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"I am the husband of Cui Yanshui, the legitimate daughter of the First Branch of the Cui family. Our marriage is officially recognized."

"According to your Cui family’s rules, regardless of age, the First Branch takes precedence."

"By reason and by right, you should lower your head and address me as ‘brother-in-law.’"

"And yet you point your finger at me?"

"Is this the etiquette of your Cui family?"

The moment these words fell—

Cui Jingdong’s expression turned extremely ugly.

Because what Ye Yu said—

Was true.

The Cui family did indeed have such a rule.

The First Branch held supremacy.

Even if Cui Yanshui was young, all members of the Second and Third Branches, as well as all affiliated lines, had to address her as Eldest Sister.

By that logic—

Ye Yu was naturally their brother-in-law.

This was a rule established by the Cui family’s ancestor.

Seniority.

But how did Ye Yu even know this?

As a seasoned master of verbal sparring from Blue Star, Ye Yu had heard far too many people calling him “brother-in-law” throughout the day.

Even white-bearded God Clan elders addressed him that way!

So, in private, he had once asked Cui Yanshui how old she actually was—

Wondering if she was some ancient elder with tens of millions of years.

To be honest—

If not for the fact that she didn’t want to give the Second and Third Branches a spectacle—

Cui Yanshui would have already beaten him up outside earlier.

Seeing how serious Ye Yu looked now, she could only give him a brief explanation of the family rules at the time.

What no one could have imagined—

Was that Ye Yu would use it at a moment like this!

And so precisely.

The Cui family had endured in the God Realm for countless years.

Rules stood above all else.

For a moment, Cui Jingdong’s momentum weakened noticeably.

But those two words—

“Brother-in-law”—

Still refused to leave his mouth.

If he bowed his head now, he would become a laughingstock.

So—

Cui Jingdong made a clever move.

He shifted the topic.

"Even if your status is special, that doesn’t give you the right to kill."

"Or are you saying your actions represent the will of the First Branch?"

A trap.

Even now, Cui Jingdong was still setting traps.

The blade of his argument pointed directly at the First Branch.

But Ye Yu gave him no time to think further.

He stepped forward, placing his foot firmly on Cui Yang’s fallen head.

Then said calmly:

"I killed him because he deserved to die."

"As a branch member of the Cui family, he openly provoked me—and even claimed I was the trash of Xuanji Hall?"

He let out a cold laugh.

"What does that mean?"

"Are you accusing the Cui family head of being blind?"

"Of marrying his precious daughter to a piece of trash?"

"People who slander the family head and betray the clan—"

"Should they die or not?"

Cui Jingdong clenched his teeth, saying nothing.

Inside, however, his thoughts churned.

I misjudged him.

Didn’t expect him to be this skilled at shaping the narrative.

But—

How should I refute this?

Ye Yu did not give him the chance.

He spoke again, his tone almost casual:

"Oh, right—you definitely don’t agree with me."

"After all, he was from your Third Branch."

"You people of the Third Branch having opinions about the current head of the Cui family..."

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

"That’s not something you should be saying out loud, is it?"

The moment those words fell—

The entire hall was shaken.
